Abstract:	This Paper surveys different techniques of acquiring Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Systems. It classifies different systems, indicates the strongpoints and weakness of each, along with some applications. One method, The Single Dwell Serial PN Acquisition System is then focused on in detail. The detail includes analysis of standard version, derivation of the mean time to acquire, the variance, the probability of detection and the probability of a false alarm. In the last section of the paper the analytical results of the Single Dwell Serial PN Acquisition System shall be confirmed by computer simulation.
